All divers enjoy unlimited dive time. You will have the freedom to enjoyyour trip to the fullest as we never impose arbitrary time or dive limitations.

On our trips you will get more diving than any other trip to the same areas,extra dive guides and experienced group leaders who will also help youorganize your travel plans. As a guest photographer you will have the primephoto opportunities.

Participation is limited to 12 guests. By limiting the number of divers, morediving is possible (4-7 dives per day).

The itinerary for each trip is designed around the direction of the current,current strength, phase of moon and time of day to put photographers onthe best dive sites at the best time to get good photos. We do not run afixed itinerary every week, however each trip will visit all the good sites.

All our trips are special liveaboard charters organized so that you can dive as much and as long as you like and target your diving at the best sites for photography and for observing marine life.

I keep hearing from divers who didn't have good trips in Raja Ampat so want toemphasize that it is critical to dive there with someone who knows the dive sites andmakes the effort to schedule the dives around the current directions and strength,phase of moon and time of day. As far as I know, these trips are the only onesorganized that way. On the same dive site it will make the difference between amind-blowing, action, fish-filled colorful dive or a boring nothing-but-rocks and reeffish dive.

We have chartered the ship SMY Ondina for our last 13 dive/photo trips and worktogether each trip to improve over the previous one. Our 2008 and 2009 trips are on SMY Ondina again!

We love this ship, 2009 will be the 6th year in a row that we have chartered her because our guests tell us that they prefer SMY Ondina to any other liveaboard they have been on.

The winners of the 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 SMY Ondina Photo contest have been guestson one of our charters. We know the dive sites and where the best photographic opportunitiesare.
